Ha! Clever Mr.Ix.
Daft as I am, I got the answer right away, but didn't recognize the phrase, so I discarded my answer. Is the meaning of this phrase just as it seems?
yep, it means an unexpected (nasty) surprise
Very appropriate to my reaction, then!
You learn something everyday. Cute
Great rebus! I don't get how the rebus in the hint is actually a hint to this answer. Oh - maybe it's trying to tell us who Gordon Sumner is but being a fan of the Police I knew that so....never mind.
I like the Sting reference, though I didn't know his real name!
Never heard of a "sting in the tail" but I'll take your word for it.
